Hey guys

ive recently got an HID kit for my car, im just having trouble securing the bulb into the light, the only way i can see is if i drill the old bulb holder out and mount the new bulb in that, but i dont want to do that unless i know its going to work....

can someone explain or send me a pic of the back of their headlight..

thanks all

this one has a rubber gasget behind the bulb that i think needs to be slightly trimmed in the middle to hold the globe in thats all, only realised that yesterday..

i know you wouldnt use them, ive read the threads.. but im sick of my shit lighting at the moment and this was cheap cheap so chuck it in and see how it goes i guess

yeah ive got the metal clip to hold the globe in, works fine on the stock plastic thing that the shitglobes stick into, but unless i drill the centre out of it and somehow mount it in the plastic things ive got a gap between where the globe sits on the headlight and where the metal clip sits

if you get it? something like a washer would kinda work but we have tried all of that... get it? kinda?

The plastic thing you're talking about, is it the cap thing? Or are you talking about the dust cover? If I remember correctly, I took out my plastic holder thing (but I've got H3 globes to replace the H3C). I just took out the plastic thing, held the globe in by the clip and left the dust cover there to stop the dust :)

Not too sure if that made any sense to you :laughing-smiley-014:

WELL they are finally in!

Alot of scratching of heads and testing things and ive finally got them in.....

It goes something like this

Bulb........3x small cable ties tied to each other behind the bulb to act as a spacer...... a washer with a groove cut out of it to be able to get the hid clip through... then almost a full circle washer (plastic) that came in the kit(bulb protector part).... then the stock metal clip to hold it all in there...

its as firm as i could get it...

looks awesome

bright as

cutoff line is perfect!

hey man ive got hid in my car. friggen awesome :worship:

using h3c as well, i got it on a group buy - brand is called techone

although mine arnt aligned properly, lol i think i broke the thing to allign them cuz its not moving anymore haha, but good enuff for me :(

only problem is sometimes wen i turn on the light the left (passenger) side doesnt turn on, so i jus turn it back on and off till it does, any ideas?

Bought this kit from 666DAN

Hanyou, the problem is most likely in the actual switch for the headlights as all power runs through the switch... same problem with mine occasionally passenger side wont come on... quick flick of the switch a few times and she comes on....

New switch from nissan would be the fix.. but meh dosent bother me

Congratulations.

One question.. why didn't you buy a set of H3's that would have fit, instead of H1's..?

On the switch issue, do a search, it has been covered how to repair the switch yourself.

because my standard headlights are H1, and are wired for H1............. :D

damn they look good! no need for highbeam at all!

    • Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
    • I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.
    • I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard
